Customer ratings
Hybrid M3 is a shop workhorse
We run both metal and wood—having fiber + CO₂ in one chassis saves setups. LightBurn config took an afternoon but it’s solid now.
Max frame = real speed gains
Upgraded to M3 Max for the 1380×920 bed. The 1G accel and higher traverse made a noticeable dent in job times on large panels.
Industrial hardware, prosumer polish
Mechanics are excellent; software/docs feel ‘industrial’. Expect to learn LightBurn and rely on community tips.
1200W fiber upgrade was worth it
We cut more 8–10 mm carbon steel—Pro tier keeps feed rates usable with cleaner edges. Gas + focus dialing still matters a lot.
CO₂ performance on M3 Max impressed us
130W CO₂ chews through thick birch with good kerf control. Nesting + common edges saves sheets on signage runs.
Setup took longer than expected
Crate, power, extraction—no small project. Once leveled and parameterized, output quality is excellent.
Great value, plan for learning curve
For the price, motion quality and accuracy are wild. Documentation is improving but forums and test grids saved the day.
Tests, videos & datasheet
Conclusion
The Gweike M-series offers industrial-grade power and versatility at a prosumer price point. best-lasercutter.com recommends the M3 Max for workshops needing a true all-in-one solution, but only for users with the technical skill to overcome the software and support challenges.
